London Launches Campaign Against Noise in Public Transport

• The campaign encourages the use of headphones on public transport
• Passengers are disturbed by noise from music on mobile phones
• There is a growing complaint about noise levels in society

A new campaign has launched in London aimed at reducing noise on public transport. Mayor of London Sadiq Khan announced the initiative, which encourages people to use headphones to avoid disturbing other passengers. Posters with relevant information will be displayed at metro stations and on buses throughout the autumn.

This campaign is a response to the increasing complaints from passengers about loud music and videos from mobile phones. According to a survey conducted by Liberal Democrats, nearly three-quarters of Britons reported that they encounter people who play music in public. Many of them do not feel comfortable asking someone to lower the volume.

Despite the fact that most Londoners use headphones, some passengers continue to play music loudly, which creates discomfort. This has led to thoughts that society has become less tolerant, especially after the pandemic.

The campaign also emphasizes the importance of personal space for others. Some experts believe that to improve the situation, more investment in public transport is needed so that people feel more comfortable using it.

However, questions arise regarding the effectiveness of the campaign and the possibility of its implementation. Some believe that simple measures are insufficient, and more stringent measures are needed to ensure order.
